Hamas Demands New Palestinian Government Pay Its Workers
(AFP) Hamas demanded Thursday that the Palestinian Authority take employees of the disbanded Gaza government onto its payroll, after scuffles broke out at banks in Gaza where the PA had paid its Gaza-based employees as usual on Wednesday, but Hamas government employees did not receive their wages. Hamas has 50,000 civil servants who are not registered as PA employees. Hamas has been unable to pay most of its workers for several months. According to a Hamas statement, Qatar's emir Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani promised to help paying the salaries of Hamas employees.
